Cycling shorts could be the most important piece of cycling kit that you'll ever own. When made correctly they'll let you cover hundreds of miles in supreme comfort leaving you to focus on either the beauty of the landscape or the suffering of your fellow escapees as you attack the final climb. They are also the piece of clothing that comes under the most abuse so it's vital that they not only look good but work faultlessly.

Morvelo use Power Lycra from the long established Italian fabric experts M.I.T.I. (Manifattura Italiana Tessuti Indemagliabili) to create a snug compression fit that eases muscle fatigue and a dual layer perforated chamois that is designed to excel on 2hr - 6hr rides. They have also been extensively tested in short and harsh Crit and Cyclocross races as well as 24hr solo MTB races so they know they are incredibly adaptable and perform to the highest standard.

Re-enforced Stitching

Created from 2 levels of high density memory foam using the latest in aircell technology to reduce pressure points, the first level provides maximum shock absorption for the hip and pelvic bones leaving the perineal area without pressure for additional comfort. The second level of perforated foam allows for supreme ventilation and moisture management. The chamois is then covered with a soft but resilient outer layer.

Morvelo's Printed Gripper Elastic (PGE) keeps a firm yet gentle grip around the legs and the high stretch M.I.T.I. perforated mesh on the bibs provides maximum flexibility whilst keeping everything in its place. No matter what you ride these shorts will keep you rolling in comfort even if your legs and lungs are screaming you to stop.

About
Lycra Cycling Shorts

Cycle shorts offer unrestricted movement on the bike with the added benefit of a chamois for comfort. They are the traditional cycling leg wear for any distance rider. Lycra shorts hold their internal pad in the ideal position throughout the ride, offering comfort and cushioning for both on and off road riding. Lycra shorts stretch with your body so there are no seams to rub you up the wrong way or restrict your pedalling motion. They are lightweight in material and since there is only one layer of thin fabric, they breathe well and keep you cool on hot days, or can be used under a pair of winter tights. Higher end models will have more panels and will generally fit better, a good pair of shorts is essential for longer rides and combined with a chamois crème make a wise investment.

About the Morvelo brand

They philosophy is to combine bike culture with pop culture. To explore themes that run through the cycling world and combine them with the wider influence of art, music, fashion and film. Great looking and distinctive clothing is one thing but the bike world is also naturally full of bikes and riding.
This is why they also conceive and organise cycling events like the much lauded Brighton Big Dog and instant hit Spin Up In A Brewery and collaborate with other iconic brands such as The Tour de France, Look Mum No Hands, Dark Star Brew Co, Alpkit, The Bicycle Academy and Reynolds Wheels amongst others. The Morvelo philosophy isn't constrained by clothing. It's a mindset that encourages diversity, exploration, challenges and a desire to thrash the hell out of two wheels.

Great comfort and fit
I don't usually go for non-budget items but decided to spend a little more than usual. I haven't been disappointed. These shorts are really comfortable and there are no cons. Just be aware that Italian styling means Italian sizing so I needed to go for a medium rather than my usual small size.
